The 12 Cranial Nerves and Starbucks

When you walk into Starbucks and you..

I. Smell the coffee aroma (olfactory)..

II. Read the order menu from about 20 feet away (optic) then you..

III.  Pupils constrict as you look at items, such as muffins, closer (oculomotor)..

IV.  You look up at salesperson then down at your money as you pay (trochlear)..

V. You clench your teeth and touch your face when they called your drink (trigeminal)..

VI. You look side-to-side to see if anyone else has ordered the same drink (abdsucens)..

VII. You smile because you realize this IS your drink (facial), then..

VIII. You hear someone say “You can sit here, we are leaving” (auditory). As you sit..

IX. You taste the sweet whipped cream on the top of your drink (glossopharyngeal)..

X. You say “Ahhhh this is good!” (vagus)..

XI. You look at the person next to you because they heard you and then you shrug your shoulders (spinal accessory)..

XII. When they look away you stick your tongue at them (hypoglossal)!

“I’ve had horrible luck finding a husband.  Most marriages in this country are traditional, and I have a middleman who arranges interviews with potential suitors.  He probably thinks I’m a snob.  Because I either turn the men down or scare them off.  But you should hear the questions they ask me.  Nothing about personality.  Nothing about character.  Everything is about money: ‘What is your salary?’,  ‘Do you have a car?,  ‘Is this your only apartment?’  I used to answer these questions, but I’m much harsher now.  I’ll dismiss them right away.  I’ve had men ask me to stop working.  I had a professor ask me to stop studying because I have more degrees than him.  Another man ended the interview when he learned that my ‘doctorate’ did not mean I was a medical doctor.  It’s ridiculous.  Some friends and family want me to settle for the sake of having children.  But I have a viewpoint, and I’m not going to sacrifice that viewpoint just because I’m getting older.  I believe in marriage.  And I’d like children.  But if it means I have to accept anything, maybe it’s best to not get married at all.” (Alexandria, Egypt)

bioluminescent waves

northern lights (canada)

BASICALLY like???? come on star wars you had one (1) job where are the cool alien species

[wearethesparkk]

I KNOW!! I did a report on filming locations in Star Wars last year and just made a list of places that looked so surreal they could make a convincing other planet. You covered some on my list but if I could just add a couple more:

Tsingy di Bemaraha, Madagascar

Zhangye Danxia, China (similar to the Rainbow Mountains in terms of appearance)

Chocolate Hills, Philippines

Giant’s Causeway, Northern Ireland

So many missed opportunities with cool ass things on Earth, Lucasfilms smh…

[memcjo]

Earth is effing amazing!

[isnerdy-deactivated20190101]

Quebrada de Humahuaca, Argentina

Lake Retba, Senegal

Tepui, Venezuela

Tianzi Mountains, China

[bunjywunjy]

these would make amazing Star Wars planets OR fantasy material:

Tsingy du Bemaraha, Madagascar again (but a different part)

(those are razor-sharp, if you were wondering. very little of this area has been explored because YIKES)

Lake Natron, Tanzania

(looks cool, but is alkaline enough to Kill Your Shit)

Lake Baikal, Russia

(the deepest lake in the world, seriously)

and I’ll wrap it up with Son Doong Cave, Vietnam, the largest cave in the entire world.

it puts anything Dagobah has to offer to absolute shame:

(seriously, the largest chamber is 660 feet high. you could jam a fucking skyscraper in there and still lose it) 

anyway I really like caves thanks for coming to my ted talk

Since it’s coming up to UK med application time: Here’s a reminder that all UK med schools are good. Don’t choose a med school purely because you think it’ll ‘look better’ or be more prestigious. While that might be a factor for other subjects, for medicine it does not matter. You should choose where to apply based on factors such as:

- the course - med school courses in the UK differ HUGELY and depending on the person you are, you’ll like some styles better than others. Definitely research the course types! 

- location - do you like the city/town, is it close enough to your home etc

- how likely you are to get in - sometimes you’ve got to go with your head and not your heart for getting into med school. Don’t only go for your dream choices if they all say you need 6 A*s at GCSE, and you don’t have that. I did two of my choices based on how much I liked the place, and two choices were purely because they mainly based it on UKCAT and I had a high one. Applying smart will increase your chances a lot - comb through the entry requirements thoroughly 

Peace out

and YOUNG Ladies:

you don’t have to shave anything you don’t want to.

you don’t have to sit a certain way.

you don’t have to have your hair a certain way.

you don’t have to “watch your weight”.

you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to.

you don’t.

not for mom’s, not for dad’s, not for boys, not for girls, not for sex appeal, not for respect.

Why did (most) modern phones get rid of those little holes you can loop charms through? That was brilliant.

[rowanspostgradadventures-deacti]

When I was going to buy a new phone with my parents when I was in my early teens (around 2008ish) one of my only requirements was that whatever phone I bought had to have a place for charms

It did

I tried to track down all the friends I grew up with in care – here’s what I found

Fifteen years after leaving the care system, almost everyone I knew then was reluctant to talk. Why had so many of them struggled or fallen off the map?
